Face 2 Face

A coming-of-age dramedy, FACE 2 FACE examines some of the most pressing social issues facing the world's teenagers today -- told through the brutally honest lens of a video chat. Written by brothers Matt & Aaron Toronto, and directed by Matt (The Pact), this compelling, often lighthearted, drama - winner of The Brian Hendricks Award for Innovation at the Edmonton Int'l Film Festival - is ultimately about true friendship and compassion in the face of life's many wrinkles. Having rekindled their childhood friendship, Teel (Daniel Amerman) and Madison (Daniela Bobadilla) begin sharing their lives over the internet as a means of coping with the typical problems of adolescent life. Though they are on opposite ends of the popularity spectrum, Madison, the A-list party girl, takes pity on Teel, the social outcast, vowing to help him win friends on social media. As their relationship deepens, Madison falls for Teel, forcing him to confess the hidden cause of the bullying he faces at school. His admission sets off a sequence of events that ultimately motivates Madison to expose her own devastating secret in a disturbing cry for help. With his best friend in trouble and no other options, Teel steals his grandmother's car and, without a driver's license, makes a courageous cross-country trip to rescue his friend in her hour of need.
